[Dysphagia] silent aspiration
- Subject: [Dysphagia] silent aspiration

I have a question regarding thickened liquids that I would like anyone with Dr. Irene-Campbell-Taylor's viewpoint to try to clear up for me (not that I don't want to here from everyone else!). I often hear Dr. Campbell-Taylor talk about how we need to find the cause of the dysphagia and treat that, not to just treat the dysphagia (which I totally agree with) and that thickened liquids have no scientific proof behind them (which I also understand). My question would be, (Dr. Campbell-Taylor I would love if you read this and responded!), does this mean you believe that thickened liquids are never indicated? My second question would be r/t silent aspiration: How could silent aspiration be diagnosed without doing a MBS? (please someone don't say "if they have/get pneumonia"). Thank you anyone for your input.
